It was entirely free from water; but the absorbing properties of the clay were such that when exposed to the air it swelled out rapidly. Hence an unusual thickness of brick lining was found necessary; and the engineer afterwards informed the author that for some time he entertained an apprehension lest the pressure should force in the brickwork altogether.
As these caravans moved over the country, were there military scouts lining the way, to intercept deserters? a corporal's guard at each pass of the mountains, sentinels pacing the hill-tops, and light horse scouring the defiles? The Israelites must have had some safe contrivance for taking their "slaves" three times in a year to Jerusalem and back.
In its lining membrane is a large number of glands, the secretion from which during a severe cold may be quite troublesome. The oesophagus, or gullet, is a tube about nine inches long, reaching from the throat to the stomach. It lies behind the windpipe, pierces the diaphragm between the chest and abdomen, and opens into the stomach.
And inside the lining of Marco's coat was hidden the sketched face, as the two unnoticed lads made their way to the Feldherrn-halle to hear the band play and see who might chance to be among the audience.

Four of these he would have grouped into a sentence as "the most interesting women in New York," and the fifth was a romantic novelty in a minor key, sort of "in the air" at the Club. So there were seven to sit down to the round table in the historic Plate Room. The curving walls were fitted with a lining of walnut cabinets.
But in less than five minutes from the warning cry that hailed their coming, Lame Wolf and his hosts were lining Elk Tooth ridge and watching with burning hate and vengeful eyes the swift, steady advance of Webb's long blue fighting line, and the utter unconcern of the defence.
You Messrs. the Monthly Reviewers! how could you cut and slash my jerkin as you did? how did you know but you would cut my lining too? This world is surely wide enough to hold both thee and me. Grant me patience! What has con furia, con strepito, or any other hurly burly whatever to do with harmony?
The mother did not much heed the little eager voice, she drew in a cord which ran round the lining, then again placed the hat on Harold's head. "Now it fits, darling," she said.
